Fruity Feature

I've gone fruity from a lack of sleep. I swear I can't pull one all-nighter without getting a bit loopy. Yes, I just subliminally put the "fruit loops" image into your brain for some reason. I think I'm probably #4

Personally, I think fruits are pretty nummy. Well, most of them. Put a cantaloupe in front of me and I might just throw up on you--or your shoes. I just can't get past that sickeningly sweet smell for some reason. Blueberries, blackberries, peaches, strawberries, and anything citrus are on my list for digestion though! How about you guys? Oh, and who could forget the avocado!!?
